NanoScience Exchange
Facilitating between leading nanotech experts and government officials and key media.
Next Meeting of the NanoScience Exchange
"Combatting Biological and Chemical Warfare"
Monday, November 25th, at 6:30 pm in Santa Clara at Silicon Valley Bank. Program will begin at 7 pm.
Presenters:
- David Oppenheimer, ATSI (Anti-Terror Systems Integration Corporation)
ATSI, based at NASA Ames Research Center, provides solutions to monitor, detect, analyze and report on a range of biological (bacterial, viral and toxin) agents which
are 90% faster that currently available solutions. One of their first solutions is a highly accurate machine to detect anthrax.
- Kevin O'Brien, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, will give an overview of technologies that the Lab has developed and deployed for biological and chemical defense and for nuclear and radiologic counter-terrorism. These technologies range from large-scale applications for buildings to hand held devices for first responders.
- Craig Coombs, AVAcore Technologies
AVAcore will present the Rapid Thermal Exchange (RTX) technology
that quickly and noninvasively removes heat from the body core. RTX could provide the critical
cooling necessary to keep industrial and military personnel functional when working in biological
and chemical warfare/cleanup suits.
In addition, Jim Hurd will give an update on a conference in Washington DC at the Woodrow Wilson International Center on nanotech and the environment, as well as visits to Sandia and Los Alamos Labs.
